The Philippine megapode (Megapodius cumingii), also known as the Philippine scrubfowl or the Tabon scrubfowl, is a species of bird in the family Megapodiidae. It is found in the Philippines, northeastern Borneo, and Sulawesi. It has a wide range of natural habitats which include tropical dry forest, tropical moist lowland forest, tropical moist montane forest and small islands. The species was named after the collector Hugh Cuming.

Description and taxonomy

EBird describes the bird as "Odd-looking partridge-like bird with a stunted head. Brown wings, gray underparts, and yellow bill. Found on small offshore islands and within hilly and montane forests on larger islands. Forages on the ground, scraping about in the leaf litter and detritus. Gives long, drawn-out wails somewhat akin to that of emergency vehicles. Like other megapodes, builds mounds and digs burrows to incubate eggs."[3]

It was formerly conspecific with the Dusky megapode but is differentiated with a lighter brown plummage and legs and with prominent red facial skin.

Subspecies

Seven subspecies are recognized:

Ecology and behavior

Feeds on insects, mostly larvae, beetles, termites, worms and snails. Also known to eat fallen fruits and seeds.

Has different breeding seasons per subspecies, known to breed year round on Sabah, March to May in Sulawesi and June to August on Palawan. Nest building habits also differ. It is mostly across most of its range but is a burrow nester in Palawan, Negros and Panay. In Palawan and Sabah, females are known to communally nest. [5]

Habitat and conservation status

This species occurs in forested zones of hills and mountains, beach forest, coastal scrub, small islands and even agricultural areas.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as a Least-concern species but was formerly considered to near threatened. Despite not being threatened, its population is declning due to habitat loss, introduced species which prey on its eggs, egg collection and hunting from humans. [6]
